HELP!!! 10-Month old will not sleep anymore!!!?

Question

For the last few weeks my 10-month started waking up 5 or 6 times at night. He will cry until i go into his room and soothe him. I know he is teething and i have tried everything motrin, teething tablets etc. Help!!! I am wore out!!!!

Could something else be bothering him. I know his ears are fine the doc checked them!!!!

He eats a bottle right before bed.

My husband is has been working out of town the past month, but home on the weekends. Could this be part of it?

can motrin keep him awake, restless??

Answer 1

Please Mom, check his room and his bed, maybe he `s too hot, it sounds like there is some discomfort, How is his temperature when he wakes up? is there some noise outside like dogs barking, or cars, with people closing doors,talking, perhaps some other noisy things going on outside the home or Apt. that are interfering with your little ones sleep? Hope you can find it and be able to remedy bcause you both need your rest. Also if he`s sleeping a lot throughout the day, he might not sleep so well at night, also if he`s in a day care during the day, you might want to investigate by asking some questions about the kind of day baby is having around there, that could be affecting his sleep at night. May God bless you and your little one.

Well 10 month old babies are just dealing with so much! The biggest thing outside of teething is that at around 9-11 months, they go through separation anxiety. They begin to realize that they are independent from their mother. When they were in the womb, they were a part of mom, and when they were born, mom carried them around and held them and so forth. But after they begin sitting up, then scooting, then more and more things on their own, they realize they are their own little person, and not just an extention of their mamma. That's quite frightening when you understand that all they have ever really known is that they were connected in some way to a parent. This really is a good thing, though I know it is tiring. Try getting some friends to watch the baby so you can catch some sleep. This baby is doing what he is supposed to do, but I know that doesn't make it easier for you! Hang in there! They don't stay 10 months for ever...in fact, they grow up pretty fast!

It's normal for many babies to start night waking again after a period of sleeping through the night. Sometimes it's because of teething, sometimes it's for other obvious reasons. In some cases, there is no obvious cause.

If your main concern is getting more sleep, bring him into bed with you. He will probably sleep better, and you certainly will! You may be committing to sleeping with him for some time, so consider whether sleep for the next few weeks is worth it for you. Personally, I think it's great to have a baby sleeping in bed with you, but not everyone agrees...

Answer 4

Try setting up a " Routine " for going to bed. You know, bath, story, bottle, etc. Sometimes children will cry as they have night fears. Give him a soft teddy bear or a blanket to cuddle. Also make sure that if your child is teething to not eliminate ear infections. Most doctors say that teething does not cause ear infections. I have been in child care for over 30 years and believe me it creates alot of havoc with most children.

Mine too!!!! i became about to put up this similar question some weeks in the past- My daughter has continuously been a great sleeper,yet lately she wakes up 2 situations a evening. notwithstanding, she takes the bottle and could in a large number of situations doze decrease back to sleep for yet another 3 or 4 hours formerly getting up again. that's getting extra constructive, yet I surely have finished some diverse issues to attempt to ascertain what it will be. Teething became decision one on my record, yet i'd supply her oragel formerly mattress and he or she nevertheless awoke so...then i tried to feed her excellent formerly mattress; like 20 minutes questioning she became no longer finished sufficient to carry her by the evening. That worked for awhile yet then she began to awaken because she necessary a diaper replace lol- So, now im giving her nutrients (gerber nutrients like macaroni and cheese with fruit cups) about an hour formerly mattress and taking her on a stroll to calm her down for the evening. After the stroll i make a bottle and rock her to sleep. She nevertheless wakes up a million time (each and every now and then 2 situations) yet she looks getting use to self soothing. I placed a teddy undergo in our the front room and function her play with it (and that i play with it too) and at evening, i flow it into the crib so possibly that permits soothe her! As for the bottle, it ought to easily convenience her. i wager that is a great signal that she isn't hungry and in simple terms needs some extra TLC (for sure at 3 in the morning lol) in simple terms recognize you're literally not on my own- 10 months threw me for a loop...solid success

ok hun my wife is high get some niqual ask you mom it works look at me i am ok and my mom gave it to me at least 5 times a day lol

Answer 9

Is he getting enough to eat before he goes to bed? Or has anything changed in his routine or in his life? Or is he sleeping too much during the day? Any of those could throw him off sleeping at night (on top of the teething).

Answer 10

i know this may sound cruel but you will have to check on him once a night or sometimes twice to make sure he is OK and that's all. no juice, milk, or any of that stuff. also close the door and turn out the lights so he will understand that night time is for sleeping. if he needs something to drink give water and only a small bottle. nap time is just that nap time. get him accustomed to sleeping at the appropriate time. it wont kill him, and you cant continue to keep up the routine you are on or you will stress yourself out. i have done it myself with 2 kids. now remember he will cry etc, but you will have to let him cry. let him cry! ( he will cry himself to sleep!!!!!!!!!!!! and it will only take 3 times for you to close the door and turn off the lights, and he will begin to understand you mean business.
right now to him nap time is a game, lets see how many times i can get mom to soothe me, and play with me. stop it it will become a habit for the baby and another chore for you...........
